Some major enhancements and important fixes.

1)    Rendering quality is massively improved, especially for very large and complex drawings such as architectural layouts imported from other file formats. Such drawings now appear smoother and more detailed, especially at distant zoom levels, and objects that might previously not have been rendered at such zoom levels are more faithfully represented, resulting in a far more pleasing visual experience.
2)    Fixes bug that might, for example, cause some controls, e.g. the Properties Grid | Layer dropdown, to show the wrong information when switching between projects. The use of improved caching to correct this issue also means the elimination of certain rare and confusing side-effects, like the apparent inability to create new layers, during sessions in which the user switches between different projects, and the fix should also prevent the appearance of certain non-critical exceptions, especially those containing "Object does not match Type".
3)    New functionality introduced for selecting and deselecting objects, both for the Selection cursor and the Unlock cursor.
a.    Click, Click+Drag : creates new selection (unchanged)
b.    Shift+Click, Shift+Click+Drag : adds object(s) to current selection
c.    Alt+Click, Alt+Click+Drag : removes object(s) from current selection
d.    Shift+Alt+Click, Shift+Alt+Click+Drag : toggles selection state of object(s)
4)    Fix to issue that might cause rendering problems in certain cases after importing a PDF e.g. after using Import PDF as New Project, where that PDF employs 'clipping', some objects might not be rendered correctly when changing zoom level, flipping between visible and invisible states.
5)    Newly-created Groups now display Property details in the Properties Grid immediately, instead of requiring re-selection before Properties can be displayed.
6)    The Properties Grid now displays Fill Color and Fill Mode properties for Bézier Curve objects
